Abstract

This paper describes a study of the incidence of drug use among drivers and pedestrians killed in fatal crashes in Melbourne, Australia. Overall, 42% of the study Population had been drinking and 66% had used drugs other than alcohol, caffeine and nicotine. BAC was significantly related to the road users' liability for the crashes in which they were killed. However, there was no relationship between liability and use of other drugs.
